Meet Linda Hubbard

Oct 13th

My name is Linda Hubbard. I have been married forty years, and have one daughter, three wonderful grandchildren and my sweet dog Spike.

I have been working full time as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist for over thirty seven years. My job is very complex and carving has become a great stress reliever.

I began woodcarving in the late eighties after being inspired by a friend and wonderful woodcarver. Thinking I would just carve a few things....well twenty some years later I still love carving. Seeing what becomes of a block of wood is challenging and exciting.  I carve a variety of subjects, but I must say I have a soft spot for Santa.  I have lost count of all that I have carved and usually have given them to family and friends for Christmas gifts. I am always looking for new ideas and projects; a great place to look is at the local annual carving show.  My friends and I go every year and love to see the carvings that have been entered in the contest; and I try to load up on enough wood to hopefully last me until the next year's show.

 Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  As a child I remember on Halloween going into the neighbor’s houses for our treats.  There were always homemade popcorn balls, cookies and cider.  Most of our costumes were created from what we had at home; but one year I was a mouse and had what I thought was an awesome mask made out of plastic.

My other hobbies include drawing, watercolor and needle felting.  After working long days it is nice to relax and be creative.  Because I am always looking for new inspiration, I love to take classes and connect with friends who enjoy art.
